Orchard Of Mines
Globus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't taint this ground
with the color of the past
Are the sounds in bloom with you?
Cause you seem like
an orchard of mines
Just take one step at a time

And you seem
to break like time
So fragile on the inside
you climb these grapevines
Would you look now
unto the pit of me on the ground
And you wander through these to climb these grapevines...

Vines...

I'll say it to be proud
won't have my life turn upside down
Says the man with some
with some gold forged plan
Of life so incomplete
like weights strapped around my feet
Tread careful one step at a time

And you seem
to break like time
So fragile on the inside
you climb these grapevines
Would you look now
unto the pit of me on the ground
And you wander through these to climb these grapevines...

To know, to feel, to play me once again
Do you denote from what we feel
Do you not know, I see you play the game
Do you denote...

(La flama niposa
La ombra dispare
La noce immortale
La voce murmure)

To know, to feel, to play me once again
Do you denote...




Do you not know, i see you play the game
Denote...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Orchard of Mines" by Globus evoke themes of fragility, introspection, and mindfulness. The opening line urges the listener not to "taint this ground with the color of the past," suggesting that the singer is seeking a fresh start or a new beginning. The following lines describe the subject of the song as "an orchard of mines," which could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could imply that the person is a source of hidden potential or undiscovered treasure. Alternatively, it might suggest that the person is filled with explosive emotions or events from their past that could detonate at any moment.


The verses go on to describe the fragility of this person, comparing them to something that "break[s] like time." Despite this fragility, the person climbs grapevines, perhaps symbolizing a determination to overcome adversity. The line "to climb these grapevines" is repeated several times throughout the song, reinforcing the idea of taking things one step at a time and not rushing headlong into anything.


The bridge of the song introduces some new elements, such as the whispered, mysterious-sounding vocals in another language (Italian?) and a reference to a "gold forged plan of life." This could be interpreted as a critique of people who try to plan out every aspect of their lives, or as a call to let go of rigid thinking and embrace uncertainty. The final stanza repeats some of the same lines from earlier, urging the listener to "know, to feel, to play me once again" and asking if they "denote from what we feel."
